52 Weeks of Happiness :: Week 16

Griffin and I had a little one on one time the other day.We decided to go on a grand adventureand spend our time riding University buses around our little town

I needed to take a photo of a building on campusfor an article that I was writing,so we made an afternoon of it.

Griffin had never had the opportunity to ride on a busso it all very very exciting and new.

I just love experiencing everyday things with my kidsbecause they make it seem so much more awesome and cool.

He was totally into it.Places that we pass all the timeseemed so much more impressive whenseen through the bus window.

I saw the world in a new light right along with him.

Every noise was louder,each turn seemed wider,every bump was exciting.

We hopped off the bus and strolled around campus,stopping to see the sites along the way.

He thought that I was the cooled Mom everfor showing him the stadiumwhere the Bulldawgs play.

I showed him the building whereI spent most of my time as an English Major in college.He really wasn't as impressed with the old building.

It was still fun for me to share it with him,even if he was whining about the heatand begging to play his Nintendo DS at that point.

We got back on the busand it seemed less excitingsince he was an old pro at it by then.

I watched as he played his video gameand felt like I was getting a glimpse of him in the future.

It was such a simple and fun adventure.

OH I love doing things with the boys like that as well. I think my favorite was taking and Jesse and Devin to see the ocean. The looks on their faces standing in it and letting it wash over them was awesome.

About Me

My name is Leigh and this blog follows my misadventures as a stay at home mom. Read as I juggle housework, motherhood, creativity, and delusions of grandeur. I am inept throwback to the 1950′s housewife, so this blog gives a modern twist to a retro lifestyle. With a focus on the drama and joys of everyday life, sometimes heartfelt but usually hilarious observations unfold. All the while my ignored laundry pile grows by leaps and bounds.
